Being part of a birthday, anniversary, or holiday gift is always a special thing. This pretty in pink painting of Paris was bought as a gift for someone special in Ohio. Its amazing how much the feeling of a city can change based on colour palette alone. This marks my 12th painting of Paris.

Paris In Spring, 22x30in., acrylic on paper, 2003.

I’ve come along way since this abstract painting I did in 2003. The palette is based on the background colours I associated with Looney Toons’ Pepe Le Pew. I’ve often thought of returning to this. There was such freedom in the work. My work has become refined and sometimes I find it restricting. Perhaps I could loosen up a bit and change the size and scale to see what happens.

If you are interested in getting a city painting done for yourself or as a gift for someone special, send me a commission request.
